FRITZ!Box as a Telephone System
The FRITZ!Box is a telephone system (PBX = Private Branch Exchange)
for Internet and fixed-line telephony. This chapter describes conve-
nience functions for the telephone system that can be configured in
your FRITZ!Box, for instance, telephone books, answering machines
and call diversion.
You will also find out which convenience functions can be used to
make calls, for instance internal calling, transferring calls, alternating
between calls and three-party conferences.
12.1
Using the Telephone Book and Call List
Telephone Book
A telephone book is at your disposal in the FRITZ!Box. In the
user interface the FRITZ!Box telephone book is found in the
“Telephony” menu.
If a cordless phone from AVM (for instance FRITZ!Fon MT-F) is
registered on the FRITZ!Box, you can use the telephone book
directly on the cordless telephone. If multiple AVM cordless
telephones are registered, you can set up an individual tele-
phone book for each cordless telephone in the FRITZ!Box.
Call List
In the call list the FRITZ!Box saves outgoing and incoming
calls, missed calls, and sent and received faxes.
In the FRITZ!Box user interface the call list is found in the “Te-
lephony” menu.
If the number of a caller or someone called is entered in the
FRITZ!Box telephone book, the call list will display the name
from the telephone book.
Numbers that are not saved in the telephone book can be
added to the telephone book from the call list.
The call list can be stored as a CSV file. CSV files can be
opened in programs like spreadsheet software.

12.3
Setting Up FRITZ!Box Fax Reception
With the FRITZ!Box you can receive faxes without having to
connect a fax machine. The FRITZ!Box automatically forwards
incoming faxes by e-mail or saves the faxes on a connected
USB storage medium.
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
page 31
).
2.
Select the “Telephony / Telephony Devices” menu.
3.
Click “Configure New Device”, select the “Fax reception”
option and confirm by clicking “Next”.
4.
Enter a fax ID. This could be your fax number or name, for
instance.
5.
Define whether the FRITZ!Box forwards incoming faxes
by e-mail or saves them.
If you would like to enter multiple e-mail addresses, sep-
arate the addresses with commas.
6.
Confirm with “Next”.
7.
Select one or multiple telephone numbers you would
like to use exclusively for fax reception.
If you make calls and receive faxes over an analog fixed
line, enable automatic fax detection for the fixed-line
telephone number.
8.
Confirm by clicking “Next” and “Apply”.
9.
Only if you enabled automatic fax detection on the ana-
log fixed line:
Fax detection works passively and does not detect in-
coming faxes until a telephone or answering machine
accepts a call. If your FRITZ!Box is to receive faxes auto-
matically, set up an answering machine in the FRITZ!Box
for fax calls (see
page 72
).
